Our
Story
Galya and Heather have always prioritized creating welcoming spaces.
In their respective work organizing and delivering events, Galya and Heather prioritized planning and accommodating for accessibility needs. They drummed up necessary funding and rented ramps, arranged ASL interpretation, ensured dietary restrictions were met, and personally provided childcare when the need appeared.
It was only in partnering together for the first time that Galya and Heather recognized that they had both created a database of accessibility and participant experience systems, resources, and contacts. Combining forces under the name Spectrum Events, Galya and Heather began assisting other event hosts in making their events more accessible and meaningful to their attendees. Spectrum Event's impact was immediate: fewer conflicts, happier participants, and more return guests.
By focusing on the delicate work of accessibility, Heather and Galya allowed event hosts to concentrate on the bigger picture, confident that no guest would be left behind. Click Here to see what Event Hosts have to say about working with Galya and Heather.
Today, Heather and Galya specialize in accessibility and participant experience organizing, helping hosts run smoother events while ensuring every guest feels valued and included.
The way participants experience an event shapes their view of the hosting organization. Heather and Galya help organizers align their event planning with their core values.
